International Conference of the Frontinus-Society on the History of Water Management and Hydraulic Engineering in the Mediterranean Region Rome, November 10 - 18, 2018 INVITATION AND CALL FOR PAPERS The conference will be held as a series of lectures and excursions on the history of water management and hydraulic engineering in the Mediterranean region. Its aim is to stimulate interdisciplinary discussion about water in antiquity. The participation of archaeologists, historians, hydraulic engineers, civil engineers, town planners and geologists ensures an information exchange about the latest findings and theories. The emphasis will be on ancient water supply and use. The organizer of this conference is the Frontinus-Society, with support of the American University of Rome, the Centro Ricerche Speleo Archeologiche Sotterranei di Roma, Deutsches Archäologisches Institut Rom, Istituto Austriaco di Studii Storici at Rome and the John Cabot University at Rome. One full and two half days of lectures will be followed or interrupted by excursions to ancient water installations outside and inside of Rome. The following list intends to suggest some of the topics which could be discussed at the symposium. NEWEST RESEARCH RESULTS ON AQUEDUCTS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE THIRD MILLENIUM: Water supply systems of ancient cities are increasingly documented as a whole. This is the reason why todays research results are clearer and offer more detailed analyses than in the past when only monumental sections of aqueducts were studied closely. For instance the recently resumed explorations of the aqueducts at Ephesus made clear, that ordinary sections often reveal more important insights than spectacular aqueduct bridges or siphons. THE CASTELLUM AQUAE AN IMPORTANT LINK: One of the most important buildings for supplying water to an ancient city was the Castellum Aquae, because it was the place where the aqueduct leading from the spring ended and the distribution through a pipe system inside the city began. Not enough is known about this building-type so that discussions about how far Vitruvius’ theories were incorporated in the planning of castella in Roman cities are still continuing. SUPPLY OF PUBLIC NYMPHAEA: Public fountains were not only indispensable for the maintenance of the public water supply system but, according to recent research results, also played an important part in the technical operation of the water pipe system. THE DISTRIBUTION OF WATER IN PRIVATE HOUSES: A wide spectrum of water destinations had to be supplied with fresh water such as small nymphaea, baths, latrina, basins in the kitchens and other equipment, while the waste water had to be subsequently disposed in sewers. In recent years, the focus has been increasingly geared towards the research of water supply systems within individual living units. SUPPLY OF PUBLIC BATHS: Although the research of public baths is very well documented already, there are still a great number of unresolved questions. How far was a building influenced by geological and climatic conditions, in addition to the area in which the bath was situated within the city map? How can we explain the particular characteristics of the baths with gymnasia in Asia Minor? Testudo, piscina calida, „Samovar“ Piscina, ... are terms, which have not become familiar yet. INDUSTRIAL USAGE OF WATER: In ancient days, water was used for the running of oil presses, grain mills and machines for cutting stone, just to mention three examples. ALTERNATIVE SOURCES FOR DRAWING WATER: Alternatives to the costly ways of deriving spring water from far away were cisternes for collecting rain water or wells with ground water. WATER IN THE MIDDLE AGES: Usage of water after Late Antiquity during Medieval Times in Europe or Islamic traditions in the Near East. SEWAGE DISPOSAL: An enormous amount of water had to be disposed after usage. The pipes of the sewage system had impressive dimensions and preferably led directly into a river or the sea. WATER QUALITY AND HYGIENE IN THE ANCIENT WORLD: Was it possible to protect oneselves from illnesses which were caused by polluted water? Were the large magnificent baths hotbeds for bacteria or viruses in spite of the sterile marble panellings? …........... Innumerable questions await clarification ... at ROME!

    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N

    Map 44 Latium-Campania Compiled by N. Purcell, 1997 Introduction The landscape of central Italy has not been intrinsically stable. The steep slopes of the mountains have been deforested–several times in many cases–with consequent erosion; frane or avalanches remove large tracts of regolith, and doubly obliterate the archaeological record. In the valley-bottoms active streams have deposited and eroded successive layers of fill, sealing and destroying the evidence of settlement in many relatively favored niches. The more extensive lowlands have also seen substantial depositions of alluvial and colluvial material; the coasts have been exposed to erosion, aggradation and occasional tectonic deformation, or–spectacularly in the Bay of Naples– alternating collapse and re-elevation (“bradyseism”) at a staggeringly rapid pace. Earthquakes everywhere have accelerated the rate of change; vulcanicity in Campania has several times transformed substantial tracts of landscape beyond recognition–and reconstruction (thus no attempt is made here to re-create the contours of any of the sometimes very different forerunners of today’s Mt. Vesuvius). To this instability must be added the effect of intensive and continuous intervention by humanity. Episodes of depopulation in the Italian peninsula have arguably been neither prolonged nor pronounced within the timespan of the map and beyond. Even so, over the centuries the settlement pattern has been more than usually mutable, which has tended to obscure or damage the archaeological record. More archaeological evidence has emerged as modern urbanization spreads; but even more has been destroyed. What is available to the historical cartographer varies in quality from area to area in surprising ways.

But you should not think that I have been completely idle: indeed, although I was not able to approach for a second time the sources of the Marcia and Claudia, at some distance from me, and not able therefore to follow up my ideas by surer rea- soning, not uselessly, perhaps, will I show you that I have been engaged in the more immediate neighborhood of that aqueduct introduced by Pope Sixtus and called the Acqua Felice from his own name before his ponti‹- 19 Aqueduct Hunting in the Seventeenth Century: Raffaele Fabretti's De aquis et aquaeductibus veteris Romae Harry B.

    THE AQUA TRAIANA / AQUA PAOLA AND THEIR EFFECTS ON THE URBAN FABRIC OF ROME Carolyn A. Mess A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Department of Architectural History In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Architectural History May 2014 Cammy Brothers __________________ Sheila Crane __________________ John Dobbins __________________ ii ABSTRACT Infrastructure has always played an important role in urban planning, though the focus of urban form is often the road system and the water system is only secondary. This is a misconception as often times the hydraulic infrastructure determined where roads were placed. Architectural structures were built where easily accessible potable water was found. People established towns and cities around water, like coasts, riverbanks, and natural springs. This study isolates two aqueducts, the Aqua Traiana and its Renaissance counterpart, the Aqua Paola. Both of these aqueducts were exceptional feats of engineering in their planning, building techniques, and functionality; however, by the end of their construction, they symbolized more than their outward utilitarian architecture. Within their given time periods, these aqueducts impacted an entire region of Rome that had twice been cut off from the rest of the city because of its lack of a water supply and its remote location across the Tiber. The Aqua Traiana and Aqua Paola completely transformed this area by improving residents’ hygiene, building up an industrial district, and beautifying the area of Trastevere. This study

    Map 43 Latium Vetus Compiled by L

    Map 43 Latium Vetus Compiled by L. Quilici and S. Quilici Gigli, 1995 Introduction The environs of Rome have undergone enormous changes from antiquity onwards, caused more by human intervention than by natural phenomena. Changes were already occurring in the archaic period as the region's population increased; these earliest phases of urbanization have been considerably illuminated by recent research. The changes intensified in Late Republican and imperial times, when urbanization reached a level unique for antiquity. Building activity connected with the city extended far enough into the countryside to link with construction centered upon surroundings towns. Thus the towns on the Tiburtine, Praenestine and Alban hills, as well as Ostia and Antium on the coast, were considered suburbs of the metropolis. After antiquity, by contrast, the region was almost deserted except in the hills. In the Late Middle Ages and subsequently, the spread of malaria and the extension of a pastoral economy reduced it to little more than a wilderness littered with the ruins remaining from an earlier era. By definition, there is some difficulty about showing settlements of different periods on a single map. We have marked those that can be located with either certainty or a fair degree of probability. At this scale no attempt is made to include every small settlement, let alone the whole complex infrastructure of the area. But we do mark cultural features notable for their size, state of preservation, or historical significance. These include large Late Republican and imperial villas, and the greatest monumental tombs. Inevitably, many estates, villas and tombs (some of them far from negligible) have had to be omitted.

    Aqueduct Architecture: Moving Water to the Masses in Ancient Rome

    Curriculum Units by Fellows of the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute 2006 Volume IV: Math in the Beauty and Realization of Architecture Aqueduct Architecture: Moving Water to the Masses in Ancient Rome Curriculum Unit 06.04.04 by Ralph Russo Introduction This unit seeks to raise awareness of basic, yet, historic principles of architecture as they apply to the provision of water to an urban center. Exploration of Roman aqueducts should serve this goal. It fits the study of classical civilizations in the ninth grade world civilizations curriculum. Moreover, it lends itself to interdisciplinary teaching, a great way for students to see things in context. Studying aqueduct architecture encourages proficiency in quantitative skills, language arts, and organizational skills. Quantitative activities such as measuring, using scale, and calculating volume facilitate developing math skills. Critical reading of primary and secondary sources, document based questions, discussion, reflective writing, descriptive writing, and persuasive writing teach and/or reinforce language arts skills. Readings and activities can also touch on the levels of organization or government necessary to design, build, and maintain an aqueduct. The unit is not a prescribed set of steps but is meant to be a framework through which objectives, strategies, activities, and resources can be added or adjusted to meet student needs, address curriculum goals, and help students to make connections between the past and contemporary issues. The inhabitants of Rome satisfied their need for water first from the Tiber River. Rome grew from a small farming community along the Tiber into the capitol city of an empire with almost one million inhabitants.
